A SUPRISE VISITOR
Had quite a suprise this afternoon I looked out into the front garden, and saw two Pied Wagtails, a second glance revealed that one of them was a Grey Wagtail and this was totally unexpected. Normally this is a bird of fast flowing rivers and streams, and as the nearest stream is about 1 mile away I can only assume it was foraging for food away from its normal habitat during these hard times. I think this is an elegant bird with lovely sleek clean lines, although at this time of year a bit dowdy out of its breeding plumage. So below are a couple of images of my welcome visitor, I have also included two of the Pied Wagtail and a Song Thrush that was foraging in the borders.

ReplyDeleteWe have Grey wagtails breeding in St Ives believe it or not, at least 2 pairs between the surgery and the Roundhouse pond. We get them feeding around the rooftops in our road.
Nice garden tick & great photos Monty.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos Monty and a real thrill to have a Grey Wagtail in the garden, as you say times are very hard for the poor birds at the moment.
